What acting roles did women play on stage during shakespeare 's time?
Most of Shakespeare's plays contain strong female characters (Julius Caesar is an exception), and in many plays the female lead is the most important character in the story. As You Like It and Cymbeline are important examples. Thus Shakespeare's plays have a lot to say about women, their relationship with men, and how they are misunderstood by men. Almost all of Shakespeare's women are virtuous, and are not infrequently wrongly accused by the men in their lives, sometimes with disastrous consequences. However, not all of Shakespeare's women are victims. A number of them control the men in their lives: Cleopatra controls Antony, Volumnia controls Coriolanus, Paulina controls Leontes. It is fair to say that the relationships between men and women in Shakespeare's plays are as diverse as they are in real life, and the women cover all possible extremes. On stage in Shakespeare's day, these women were not represented by actresses, but by boy actors. Although the acting world was primarily a man's world, women were employed, primarily as costumers.
Where were shakespeares plays performed when it rained or in the winter?
In the Globe Theatre, they could perform through any weather, since there was a roof over the stage and the seats. In the winter they closed due to cold weather and because it became too dark, since the Globe relied on natural light. In 1608 the owners of the Globe bought the Blackfriars, an indoor theatre, from the Burbages, so the King's Men became the only company that could perform year-round.
What year did the first female actresses appear on stage?
Female actresses first appeared on stage in 1629. This was done by a French troupe at the approval of Queen Henrietta Maria.
Why was The Blackfriars theatre advantageous to Shakespeare?
It gave the King's Men a place to perform in the winter. It allowed for performances year round: at the Globe in Summer, at Blackfriars during what had previously been the off season. The playhouse brought in twice as much as the Globe, due to higher admission, even though it was smaller and had to be heated and artificially lighted. The space was more intimate, and allowed for sound, music, and lighting effects that were more difficult, if not impossible at the Globe.

Why were women not allowed to play in shakespearese plays?
Women were not permitted to appear on the public stage in England before the year 1660, in any kind of performance including Shakespeare's plays. The reason was that people considered it indecent for a group of men to stare at a woman who was showing herself off for them. It suggested a prostitute advertising her product. If they allowed women to appear on stage like that, then unscrupulous theatre owners would exploit them by having them appear unclothed on stage or simulating acts of sexuality in order to titillate the men in the audience. History shows that they were right about that.
